Osama Dozen-Dongs posted:Some people have really dumb ideas about islands. It's common to see people denying that the Caribbean islands are in America, which I could sort of see, especially in countries that use a dual America continent model, but you even see people trying to say Britain isn't in Europe. I wonder if they'd extend this to inland seas, like would someone say Gotland isn't in Europe? Never seen anyone say Japan or Sri Lanka aren't in Asia, though, so there probs isn't any consistent system behind it. I'm reminded somehow of an observation I've made that most Australians pretty much act like we're twenty miles off the coast of England.

Don't even get into whether Australia is an island or a continent or both. I like to think it's as good a place as any to draw the dividing line.

BrigadierSensible posted:In these offices/workplaces that make you pay for hot water, don't allow coffee machines etc.: What is their policy on bathroom breaks? Only adhered to because there's literal laws requiring it, and even then companies probably break those every chance they get. American companies treat their employees with zero loyalty and try to extract every possible cent from them with no regard for their well-being beyond the bare minimum, and then are shocked and offended when said employees don't display a feudal knight's loyalty to them.

I've been spoiled on movies and other things and perfectly enjoyed them. Heck, I tend to forget the spoilers once I get into them... usually. Knowing what happens isn't the same as knowing how it happens. Though I still think Hollywood's need to spoil every plot point in a movie in the trailer is doing them no favours. Plenty of movies get by with trailers that show the film's aesthetic without saying anything about the plot.

The whole thing was a hilarious self-own on part of McDonald's. You'd think a huge international chain that prides itself on serving the same fatty crap at any and all hours of the day anywhere in the world would know better than to massively undersupply a promotional event.

I recall a TV show or something about Australian tourists named and summed up as 'Dumb, Drunk and Racist'. Probably accurate and related. But then again, you don't notice the well-behaved ones. We actually get a lot of tourists ourselves and don't seem to notice them, probably because they have a hard time being more obnoxious than the locals.

The fun part of that hella racist textbook is it looks like it clearly plays to racist stereotypes that mean doctors and nurses routinely under-prescribe and ignore the issues of women and minority patients compared to the attention and medication they give to white men.

Humans really did a number on wolves, but the biggest change with cats has been behaviour and psychology. Domestic cats- hell, probably domestic anything- are super-social compared to their wild counterparts, with behaviours adapted to living in large concentrations with an abundance of food.

Jesus, what a weird thing to nitpick. I figured it as a result of some people being really hilariously stupid with the machines and breaking them at some point. And I think front-loaders USED to be a high-end thing in Aus, but in the last decade or two they suddenly became way more available and affordable.
